COLUMBIA FURNACE, Dec. ., 1877.

ment concerning the late unfortunate and
disastrous fire at this place.
was, (and had been for several days
prior to the fire. at home, and assert the
following, as positively indlsputable fact'.
The buildings were located and occn-
pied substantially as stated in the letter
referred to above-but the statement there
in shat "the ashes from his (Pollard's)
honse were allowed to run back on the
floor by appearances of the ash pile now,
which is supposed to be the cause Of the
fire" is unwarranted. The ash pit, even
now. has only few ashes therein, and at
its front where the ashes are empted into
it. they are not within one foot or more
of the level where the floor was.
The fire was first discovered about )
o'clock on the morning OF wednesday,
Nov. 3Oth. No ashes or enything else
from my house had been empted into tho
nit since the Saturday afternoon before, at
least - hours prior TO the discovery of
the fire and having little or no nse for
this simmer kitchen Mt this season OF the
year. no member of my family had been
in it since Monday afternoon, about SO
hours prior to the discovery of the fire
These facts alone settle beyond question
any suspicion that the fire could have
originated as supposed in the letter re-
| ferred to.
regret very much the fact that many
incidents and circumstances which have
developed and come to light since, strong
" tend to destroy any theory of accident
In regard to the imputation contained
IN the said letter, assert that no man in
Shenandoah county is moro careful and
particular about the use Of matches, empty-
ing of ashes, care of fire. &C., than myself
To my many neighbors who came and
rendered such kind and valuable assist

call Mrs. A, was modest natron, and
desiring to have seryeral teeth extracted,
called upon her neighbor, Mrs. b., a short
tiaie ago, TO accompany her to the office
of "A " lstock dentist and help her to
get her courage up. Taking q morning
train they were soon in Woodstock, and
reaching the dentists Office presently, it
was found that Mrs. A. courage was at a
very low ebb, and she was persuaded to
test the efficacy Of "laughing gas" The
dentist chad given it to scores of patients;
there was not the slightest danger" and
ne assured Mrs 4. that she would re-
cover from the effects of the gas in little
while, and would suffer no pain whatever.
With nerves wrought up to the highest
tension, Mrs. A. took the chair. and the
dentist began to administer the gas the

In Ia greatly relieved voice, Mrs. A. still
laboring under the delusiou, asks, as 1t

This last query utterly paralyzed the
doctor, who mnde a break for another

closely vailed, took the train for home
